I love crossfit! In the summer I plan to swim more.
I am sad to say I don’t know what to do, so I’m looking forward to tue comments. I dont want to injure myself on my days off from running, but have heard cross training can be beneficial! I’m thinking of swimming as cross training to give myself a low impact option to stay cool in FL heat and humidity.
Sorry about the typo! Tue should be the!
Crossfit is my number one way to train – lots of great core and leg workouts like thrusters, deadlifts, overhead squats, etc..
In place of a lot of long runs, I’ll add shorter more intense sessions (sprint for a minute, rest for 30 seconds for 30 minutes) or my new favorite leaping burpees (start in standing position, drop and do a pushup, hop back up and jump forward) for a 1/4 – 1/2 mile.
Also, having a 5 month old puppy with infinite energy is helpful. Just pop him off his leash in the middle of a field and try to catch him 🙂
I like to hike when I’m not running.I go to Regional,Wilderness,Natural Parks..I slow my pace down and take in the sights and sounds.I like to pick up a Trail Guide of the park and write down what I saw and heard.I wear a backpack and fill it with the basics.I’m getting a great workout and it feeds my spirit and soul.
